Finance Expert reacts as Tottenham-Staveley agreement mooted in North London

Non-disclosure agreements between Tottenham and Amanda Staveley will allow both parties to continue their due diligence behind the scenes, according to football finance expert Dan Plumley.

Reports suggest the former Newcastle chief may already have non-disclosure agreements in place as she looks to complete her acquisition of a minority stake at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium [The Athletic, 23 October].

Although it isn’t yet clear when Staveley could become an official shareholder in North London, Plumley insists supporters shouldn’t be at all concerned as this has become a regular feature in modern football.

“Yeah, it tends to be,” Plumley exclusively told Tottenham News.

“Any prospective ownership group coming in, whether it’s for a minority stake or all the way up to full control, non-disclosure agreements are fairly commonplace.

Will Amanda Staveley take over Tottenham after Newcastle exit?

“They’re something that need to be put in place and they can do their due diligence behind the scenes while that’s in play as well.”

Staveley has been spotted in and around Spurs over the last few months. The 51-year-old was seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the NFL showdown between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears.

Although the initial deal is expected to only be a minority stake, Plumley has previously told Tottenham News it would take upwards of £3billion for the former Newcastle chief to take full control of the Lilywhites in the future.

If reports are to be believed, it shouldn’t be too long until Staveley’s stake in Spurs is confirmed by the club and the non-disclosure agreements will become redundant.

Then it will be interesting to see whether or not the former Newcastle chief stops there or pushing for a complete deal.
